I adore British TV from the 70s

[Bernadette]

Upstairs Downstairs; All Creatures Great and Small; Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett). Can anyone recommend anything else, preferably available on youtube
Edit: Forgot about Bless Me, Father which was also excellent, as were the books on which it was based.

It is, starring John Cleese. I have only seen a bit but me Dad loved it

The Good Life
To the Manor born
Keeping up appearances
Yes Prime Minister

All very funny but with class.

[Michael Wilson]

Fawlty Towers ? 

I have to second this; its the British version of Jackie Gleason's the "Honeymooners" (for you older folks); Situation comedy at an Inn, in which the owner Basil Faulty (John Cleese), who is a bit headstrong, eccentric and thinks he knows more than his wife, gets himself into all kinds of problems as he tries to run his Hotel on the cheap. Hilarious!
I also heard that the series: "To The Manor Born" was very good; a noble woman having fallen on hard times, is forced to sell her manor and live in the gate house of the same; yet at the same time attempts to keep up pretenses and hide the fact.
The mini-series on Evelyn Waugh's book: "Brideshead Revisited"; about an old English noble Recusant Catholic family, and how their lives are affected by the adherence of departure from the practice of their faith.

I've just discovered Dad's Army, with Arthur Lowe. Looks good.

German Man: Sprechen sie dutch?

Mr. Fawlty: Beg your pardon?

German Man: Entschuldig sie ditte kennen sie dutch sprechen?

Mr. Fawlty: I'm sorry, could you say that again?

German Woman: You speak German?

Mr. Fawlty: Oh, German! I'm sorry, I thought there was something wrong with you! Of course! German!

German Woman: You speak German?

Mr. Fawlty: Well, a little. I get by.

German Woman: Ein bissen.

German Man: Ah, wirwollen ein automitten.

Mr. Fawlty: Well, why not.

German Man: Witten.

Mr. Fawlty: Yes... little bit tricky, would you mind saying it again?

German Woman: Please?

Mr. Fawlty: Could you repeat – amplify – yes, yes –

German Man: Wir.

Mr. Fawlty: Wir – yes – we'll come back to that

German Man: Wollen.

Mr. Fawlty: Wollen. Voluntary?

German Man: Ein automitten.

Mr. Fawlty: Auto... auto... oh, I see! You're volunteering to go out to get some meat. Not necessary! We have meat here. (In German accent) We have meat here in ze building! (Does cow horns with his fingers and makes mooing noises).

(Polly enters.)

Mr. Fawlty: Ah, Polly. Just explaining about the meat.

Polly: We weren't expecting you.

Mr. Fawlty: Oh, weren't you? They're Germans, don't mention the war.

BBC

The Railway Children

Just the sort of thing that you like, but with almost none of the nasty theosophy you find in other children's stories like The Little Princess. Just the opposite -- the station master has a house full of Catholic images. And I particularly like the modest dressing throughout the movie. All the girls are dressed as modestly as any muslim woman, but still looking distinctly Christian and European.

How lovely. Can't wait to watch this. I've seen another version (Masterpiece Theatre) and liked it very much.

I'll second both Brideshead Revisited (1981 version) and Larkrise to Candleford.  Also Cranford (Elizabeth Gaskell).
